Maura offers an impressive background in non-profit leadership, partnerships, public funding and development together with a personal connection to child welfare – her own family having grown through foster care. She has spent the better part of her career in workforce development—including a strong focus on early childhood education as part of the equation.  A native of Massachusetts now living in Easthampton, Maura has recently discovered her inner golfer, a new sporting passion she adds to her devotion to the WNBA. But her truest reward is being the parent of young adults—cheering them on as they find their own paths.
